The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) Recognition Notice grants you equivalent operational status and expedites market entry. At Contact Advisory Services Ltd. (CAS Ltd.), we provide tailored solutions that go beyond the initial recognition procedure. Our strategic guidance and established relationships with industry stakeholders secure your launch and facilitate ongoing business success within Malta’s dynamic iGaming landscape.

Understanding the MGA Recognition Notice

The MGA Recognition Notice is a vital enabler for your business in Malta. Here’s how it functions:

• Equivalence and Efficiency: An MGA Recognition Notice ensures that your authorized iGaming activities retain equal validity as if licensed directly by the MGA. This minimizes regulatory hurdles and lets you start serving the Maltese market quickly.
• Regulatory Harmonization: The MGA’s approach stems from its dedication to facilitating a harmonized, cross-border iGaming regulatory framework within the EU/EEA, streamlining growth for licensed operators.
• Ongoing Obligations: Recognition Notice holders must stay compliant with the original licensing jurisdiction and applicable Maltese laws when operating in or from Malta. Ongoing maintenance of the Recognition Notice is also required.

The Regulatory Framework: Mastering the Requirements

Malta’s regulatory landscape places high importance on ensuring fairness, player protection, and industry ethics. Navigating the process demands meticulous attention to detail. The foundation includes:

• Malta Gaming Act of 2018: The Act provides the legal framework for iGaming licensing with a two-tier classification system: Business-to-Consumer (B2C) and Business-to-Business (B2B).
• Gaming Authorisations Regulations (S.L. 583.05): Specific regulations dictate MGA Recognition Notice eligibility, application protocols, and ongoing reporting requirements.
